The beamline is optimized to address challenging cases in macromolecular crystallography such as large complex molecular assemblies, poorly diffracting crystals and microcrystals by providing extremely stable and intense x-ray beams with beam sizes ranging from 5 to 70 microns.

Beam line is controlled by in house developed "Console" suite of programs. Automated data processing is enabled by locally developed software suite called RAPD. Most of the current crystallographic programs are made available via SBGrid distribution.
